Manappuram Finance post Q3 analysts’ views

Jefferies Indian Pvt Ltd post results said that Manappuram Finance’s 3QFY25 net profit fell 52% YoY to ₹282 crore below their estimates of close to ₹480 crore due to softer NII and higher provision. 

Assets Under Management (AUM) growth and NIMs missed estimates, falling sequentially as credit cost jumped owing to stress in the MFI (Microfinance Institution) book. Manappuram Finance should gain from higher gold prices, though its growth has lagged peers, said Jefferies. It expects elevated stress in MFI loans to drag earnings near term. At 1 time FY26 estimated book value, valuations seem reasonable as per Jefferies, but the easing of stress in the MFI portfolio will likely be key to re-rating. Jefferies has a ‘Hold’ rating on the stock.

Motilal Oswal Financial Services (MOFSL) highlighted that Gold AUM was largely flat sequentially and grew 18% YoY to around ₹24,500 crore. Gold tonnage declined 4% sequentially to 57.3 tons. Gold loan customer base declined to 2.6 million (from the previous quarter’s 2.66 million). Management, however, has shared that gold loan growth in 3QFY25 was sluggish because of festive seasonality. Management guided for gold loan growth of 15-20%. The decline in gold tonnage was because of higher gold prices.

MOFSL has cut FY25/FY26/FY27 net profit estimates by 15%/5%/3%, respectively to factor in lower loan growth and higher credit costs. Over FY24-27, it estimates a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 15%,13% in gold, and consolidated AUM, respectively and ~10% in consolidated net profit. MOFSL has a ‘Neutral’ rating on the stock.
